Liquid eyeliner and why mothers should wear it.

I think I have quite small eyes so it helps make them stand out a bit.

For a while after I had Wild Man I was too tired and overwhelmed to wear any make-up. It was all I could do to brush my teeth each day.

But gradually life came back under control. I started wearing make-up again and made a horrible discovery ... pencil eyeliner smudges really easily and when you are a tired mother you rub your eyes a lot!

Not a great combination.

I persevered for a while but each time I went near a mirror I was horrified by the black smudges around my eyes. Eventually I just gave up and resigned myself to beady little smudge-free eyes.

But recently I discovered liquid eyeliner.

It is slightly harder to put on than pencil but once it is dry it doesn't smudge, no matter how much I rub my eyes.

Happy days.

It's amazing how much more together a little bit of eyeliner makes a girl feel.

About Me

I'm Vic. A writer, kid's book junkie, music theatre performer, wife and Mum, but definitely not in that order! I have Wild Man (3), Princess (1.5) and two teenage stepsons.
I absolutely feel like 'Mummy' ate 'me' - where oh where has the old me, the pre-marriage me, the fun and flirty, not tired and grumpy me gone?
